A Few Simple Ornaments

These are really simple to make: just cut out two layers of felt for the main shape. Sew any decorations onto one layer with matching embroidery floss (making all knots on the back), and then sew the two layers together (all knots will be in the middle).

You can sew the ribbon on with embroidery floss as you sew the two layers together, or use sewing thread to attach the ribbon once the ornament is done. I think the thinner ribbon looks better (as opposed to the Gingerbread Man's thicker ribbon).

Back sides



Crooked Star (you may want to make a perfect template rather than cutting yours out freehand). I like crooked, but not everyone does!



Stocking: I sewed green pieces on top of a red sock shape.

Candy Cane: I sewed white stripes on top of a red cane shape.

Tree: is it weird to put a tree ornament on a tree? Should I have made tiny tree ornaments to decorate the tree ornament? And so on! When would it ever end?
